Vital Statistics - the Italian Grand Prix03 Sep 2014

Did you that Fernando Alonso has taken six podiums - but just two wins - from 12 starts at Monza? Or that Sebastian Vettel could move ahead of Juan Manuel Fangio - and level with Nelson Piquet - in Italian victories should he triumph this weekend? Ahead of this weekend's Formula 1 Gran Premio d'Italia 2014, we present all the need-to-know facts, stats and trivia...

Fascinating fact: Monza's crumbling old banking is one of the venue's most iconic features, but it was actually only used in four world championship races - 1955, 1956, 1960, 1961

Potential record breakers: Mercedes have scored six one-two finishes this year. They need four more over the remaining seven races to tie McLaren's 1988 record for the most one-twos in a season, and five more to eclipse it.

Turbo history: If a Ferrari-powered car wins the race it'll be the first Ferrari turbo win since the 1988 Italian Grand Prix.
